Honey candles are another Nuremberg tradition at Kristkindklmarkt. Unlike wax candles, these are made of honey and exude a delightful smell. The tradition of decorating a spruce wreath with four candles dates back to Advent - the four weeks of anticipation of the advent that precede Christmas Eve.
We start the walk from the Big Round Tower on the main street of the city, which leads to the old town through the courtyard of artisans and St. Lorenz Square, to the central shopping area of the town, where the largest Christmas market in Europe took place annually. On the way, we see the famous museum bridge, the monument "Ship of fools", dine in the tavern of St. Sebald and return to the beginning of the path through Schleifersteg and Charles Bridge.
